Welcome To...

Welcome To... is a unique and enjoyable roll-and-write game that I’ve really enjoyed playing with friends and family. While it has a somewhat “multiplayer-solitaire” feel, with everyone focusing on their own neighborhood development, there's still a healthy dose of competition to be the best architect in town. The game is easy to learn and the instructions are clear enough to get you started, but a quick YouTube video can help solidify the rules for beginners.

The game’s core mechanic of flipping cards for action choices adds a layer of randomness that keeps gameplay fresh, with many different paths to victory. The communal action system also makes for quick and engaging gameplay, as everyone makes their decisions simultaneously. This is a great game for large groups, and it doesn’t require hours to play, making it perfect for a casual game night.

One of the things I love about Welcome To... is the replayability. Each game feels different thanks to the randomized card sets, and you can also use different scoring objectives for even more variety. The only downside is that the game's score sheets can run out quickly, so you might need to buy more or make copies if you play frequently.

Overall, I highly recommend Welcome To... to anyone looking for a fun, quick, and easy-to-learn board game. It’s a great game for families, friends, or even solo play. I also appreciate the beautiful art and the strategic decisions you have to make throughout the game.
